KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 19 — Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) today denied reports on social media that there would be an outage throughout Terengganu this afternoon.
In a statement issued today, TNB said there are no plans to close or disconnect the electricity supply on a big scale due to the worsening flood conditions in Terengganu.

Meanwhile, TNB on its official Facebook page, TNB Careline, said 228 substations in three districts of Terengganu have been closed due to floods.
Based on the statement, the districts concerned are Kemaman involving 173 substations, Kuala Berang (50), and Setiu (five).
